KU Prof To Give Humanities Talk
During 1953-54, he had another Fulbright grant and spent the year in Italy and the Mediterranean area, continuing his studies in ancient and medieval history and in the history of the Jews during the fifth and sixth centuries.
"Recent Archaeological Discoveries and the Bible" will be the Humanities Series lecture, at 8 p.m. today by Dr. James E. Seaver, professor of history. He will use slides to illustrate the speech in Fraser Theater. A reception by the Faculty Club will follow.
Dr. Seaver has just returned from a year of teaching and study, under a Fulbright grant, at the Technion, a technological university at Haifa in Israel. He traveled and studied throughout the Holy Land, Cyprus, Greece, and Turkey. His special interest is in the history of the Jews.
He joined the KU faculty in 1947 after having taught a year at Michigan State College. He received the E.A. at Stanford, was Boldt fellow at Cornell in 1945-46, and received the Ph.D. there. He has published
"Persecution of the Jews in the Roman Empire," and "Publius Ventilius, Neglected Roman Military Here." For several years, he coached the KU varsity tennis team.
Every year, the Humanities committee brings five or more visiting scholars to the campus but also selects one KU faculty member to give a Series lecture. Dr. Seaver is the 17th KU lecturer chosen since 1948.
Dr. Clifford Osborne, philosophy, was the first KU scholar to give a humanities lecture. Since then, in order, the KU speakers have been: Dr. John Hankins, English; Dr. Charles Realey, history; Dr. William Shoemaker, Romance languages; Dean Frederick Moreau, law; Professor Allen Crafton, drama; Dr. George Anderson, history; Dr. J. Neale Carman, Romance languages; Dr. L. R. Lind, Greek and Latin; Dean M. Carl Slough, law; Dr. William D. Faden, English; Prof. Jan Chapusco, music; Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe; Dr. Mary Grant, Latin and Greek; Prof. Elmfer F. Beth, journalism, and Dr. Richard DeGeorge, philosophy.

Housing Construction Booms Around Campus
J. J. Wilson, director of dormitories, said work on McColum residence hall was moving right along even though the work might be a few days behind the original work schedule.
Student housing construction at KU is booming.
"All the major exterior work is completed." Wilson noted. "The building is completely enclosed and we have a good crew working inside," he added.
Work on the inside partitions is being completed along with the installation of the heating and ventilation system. Electrical wiring is also being finished.
LATER, FINISHING tasks such as laying tile and installing wardrobes will begin. Wilson said plans still call for the hall to be opened in September, 1965.
Also in the offing for KU students is a new luxury apartment development at 10th and Emery Road. The plan for the 114-unit complex is backed by four men from Wichita and Tulsa and Jerry Taylor, Lawrence realtor.
1965 Kansas Auto Tags Now on Sale
Despite the fact that auto registration tags can now be purchased by mail, more than 1300 of them were sold at the Douglas County Treasurer's Office yesterday.
THE 1965 tags have a bright red background with white numerals. "MIDWAY USA" is printed along the bottom of the tags.
Treasurer Edythe L. Norman said there were lines at the office all day. "Most of the people who came in today wanted special numbers." Mrs. Norman said.
KU students from other Kansas counties can mail their auto registration application forms to either the Douglas County Treasurer or to the county treasurer in their home county.
People who have lost their tax receipt will have to get a verification that they have paid it from their county treasurer before they can purchase a tag here.
STUDENTS WISHING to get Douglas County tags should list their Lawrence address when they mail in their application.
Persons who didn't receive a registration renewal application or have lost it can send in their 1964 registration card and receive a tag. There will be a 50 cents charge for a duplicate card.
The Number 1 tag was purchased by Larry Torneden of 704 Alabama St. Torneden had waited 14 hours, since 6 p.m. Sunday, to get the tag.
The receipt for payment of 1964 personal property tax on the vehicle must accompany the application.
